Probably because Skins fans have been yearning for an identity at QB since Joe Theisman....someone who can be the face of the organization, who can put the team on their back and lead them to victory...

Yeah . . . McNabb has proven he doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to do this.


Sadly...we are still yearning for this.

This is where I think you're kinda screwed.

Your best option would've been to have had a terrible year (say, 1-7 for example lol) to where you could draft one of the premier QB's, and let Shannahann groom him.

Now, you'll likely end up in the mid-teens, unable to land a guy like Luck. With McNabb not coming back, that places you in a bind, potentially.

Of course, you never know what'll happen. A Jimmy Clausen like scenario could play out again. Or you might trade up.

I remember that name from years ago.

Tell me. If the Cowboys weren't 1-7 and the Redskins weren't 4-4, would you be here?

Donovan McNabb to practice in Washington Redskins' 2-minute drill

Donovan McNabb to practice in Washington Redskins' 2-minute drill

ASHBURN, Va. -- Donovan McNabb will finally get to practice the 2-minute drill on Saturday. Hamstrings permitting, that is.
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Thursday that McNabb's hamstrings are still sore but have improved. The coach said if McNabb is full-speed, the Redskins will practice the 2-minute drill on Saturday in preparation for Monday night's game against Philadelphia.

It would be the first time the Redskins have run the drill in practice in six weeks, according to the coach. Shanahan has said the lack of hurry-up practice was one of the reasons he benched McNabb late in a loss to Detroit.

Actually, you're off by $10 million. It's 5-years and $88 million. And currently he is 7 TDs and 8 INTs with a 76 QB rating. ESPN shows $78 million and NFL Network shows $88 million.

How hillarious would it be for McNabb to go out and lay another egg this evening.

50% completion percentage, 1 td, 2 ints, 160 yards.

lol

Man if he does Dan will claim the contract isn't official until midnight and it will mysteriously disappear.

McNabb, Redskins agree to five-year extension through 2015

NFL.com Wire Reports


The Washington Redskins and quarterback Donovan McNabb have agreed to five-year contract extension, reports NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora, citing a league source.

The deal, which locks in McNabb until 2015, includes $40 million guaranteed and could be worth up to a maximum of $88 million, including $10 million in incentives. The deal averages $15.5 million per season, according to the source.

McNabb's agent, Fletcher Smith, confirmed the deal to the Washington Post.

"We're very happy about the situation," Smith said. "We've been working on this for a while now, and we're obviously glad to get it done. Donovan's very happy about the situation because this is where he wanted to be all along."

McNabb was traded to the Redskins from the Philadelphia Eagles on April 4.

The extension comes just two weeks after Redskins coach Mike Shanahan benched McNabb for the final two possessions of the Redskins' 37-25 loss to the Detroit Lions on Oct. 31. Shanahan said Rex Grossman was more comfortable with the team's two-minute offense.

Through eight games this season, McNabb, a six-time Pro Bowler, has posted a 76.0 passer rating -- his lowest since 1999 when Philadelphia drafted him No. 2 overall and he started six games. He has seven touchdowns, eight inteceptions to go with 1,971 passing yards.

Redskins general manager Bruce Allen disputed reports that the Redskins were ready to get rid of McNabb after his early-season struggles.

"As we've said for months now, we've had ongong talks and once the regular season started, we really were aiming toward the bye week," Allen told ESPN980 on Monday.

"When we made the trade for him, we understood what we were getting in Donovan and we're pleased with the leadership that he brings and we believe he can help us win," Allen said.

That's effing ridiculous! Thank you Dan Snyder!

BTW this smacks of Washington trying to prevent McNabb going to Minnesota next year.

What does his agent mean that McNabb wanted to be here all along? Since when? 15 mil a year. Jeez.
